Abstract (en)

A lighting apparatus. The lighting apparatus (10) includes a mounting structure (12). The apparatus includes a gimbal ring assembly (14) for holding a lamp (55). The gimbal ring assembly has a first axis and a second axis perpendicular with the first axis. The gimbal ring assembly (14) is rotatable about the first axis (16) and about the second axis (18). The gimbal ring assembly (14) is connected to the mounting structure (12). The apparatus includes a locking mechanism (20) for locking the gimbal ring assembly (14) in a fixed position relative to the first axis (16), to the second axis (18) and the mounting structure (12). A lighting apparatus. The lighting apparatus includes a yoke (48). The apparatus includes a lamp ring (50) for holding a lamp (55). The lamp ring (50) is connected to the mounting structure (12). The apparatus includes a ring locking mechanism (52) for locking the lamp ring (50) in a fixed position relative to the yoke (48). A method for lighting. The method includes the steps of attaching a mounting structure (12) to a ceiling. Then there is the step of orienting an outer ring (22) of a gimbal ring assembly (14) at a first position relative to a second axis (18) of the gimbal ring assembly (14). Next there is the step of locking the outer ring (22) in place relative to the mounting structure (12). Then there is the step of orienting an inner ring (24) having a lamp (55) of the gimbal ring assembly (14) at a second position relative to a first axis (16) of the gimbal ring assembly (14). Next there is the step of locking the inner ring assembly (24) to the outer ring assembly (22). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
